I am also using Swift 3 and Xcode 8.3.3 and found that in following the tutorial up to the end of āOnto the Magazine Appā (just before the section āA Basic magazine Layoutā) I get an error of āunresolved identifierā on the line (with NSAttributedStringKey)
let attrs = [NSAttributedStringKey.foreground: color, NSAttributedStringKey.font: font] as [NSAttributedStringKey : Any]
Do you have a version available, using my Swift and Xcode versions, please? Thank you.
[I noticed that Swift 4 and Xcode 9 will not be released until the Fall and Iād like to get my App working before then. I did download the Beta versions of 4/9 and run the project successfully based on the code above]
In Swift 3 attributes are declared as [String: Any] and attribute names are declared separately, so replace that line with
let attrs = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: color, NSFontAttributeName: font] as [String: Any]
It should work.
After I finish project, I still feel confused. Because i did wok with webView load HTML. What is the different webView vs CoreText ?
This tutorial is more than six months old so questions are no longer supported at the moment for it. We will update it as soon as possible. Thank you! :]
